I noticed that some Malaysia Royals wears yellow goldenish clothes...I wonder if this has some ritual signification or so...In China, only Chin Emperors could wear the " Imperial golden yellow" and nobody else...

If the Sultan of Brunei and his Consort were to attend, this would be the first time Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah attends this ceremony. In the previous years, Brunei only sent the Crown Prince as representative. As for the other Heads of State, I don't know who exactly. We'll see who's coming tomorrow.

Well you're right about the Crown Prince of Brunei attending. I was hoping some of the senior Brunei royals would attend so we'd get to see some great pictures from Infofoto and I got my wish (although I was hoping for more pictures of all the tiaras and jewels). Perhaps you'd be kind enough to identify some of the malaysian guests in the pictures (some of them are familiar to me from CP Billah's wedding but I dont recollect the names)

This is a good article with a detailed description of the cermony:New Agong installed

Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Installed 13th Yang Di-Pertuan Agong

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Terengganu, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, 45, was Thursday installed as the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong in a ceremony steeped in custom and tradition of the Malay rulers at Balairong Seri of Istana Negara.
. . . The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, in his pledge inscribed in Jawi on a goat hide, vowed to govern the nation with utmost fairness in accordance with provisions in the Federal Constitution and uphold Islam.

Tuanku Mizan said he would ensure a just and peaceful administration.

After His Majesty read out his pledge, a nafiri (trumpet) was sounded followed by the beatings of the nobat (drum) "Raja Bertabal" (the King has been installed) by the Royal Terengganu Nobat Group.

This was followed by a 21-gun salute by the 41st Artillery Battery Regiment followed by the rendition of "NegaraKu" by the Royal Armour Corps. Bernama

The Installation Ceremony of the XIII King of Malaysia saw some royal touches from Terengganu. The Throne Hall was newly painted with with white instead of brown before and with some addition of flowers beside the throne.

Due to rain in the early morning of that Thursday, some parts of the ceremony had to be cancelled among others are - if the wheather was good we could see the arrival of each Malay Rulers would be celebrated with them taking salutes from Royal Dais set up at the lawn of the Palace and the flags of each state would be raised with their state anthems, such a glittering. But instead plan B had to take place where their cars arrived in front of the door of the Throne Hall to under the roof shelter.

Thank God that the Ceremonial Guard Review by the King was not called off because by 9.15am the rain has stopped.

The ceremony was preceded by the arrival of the Royal Guests including the mother of the King Tengku Besar Sharifah Nong Fatimah Al-Sogoff, her stepmother Tengku Ampuan Besar Bariah and her grandmother the 4th Queen of Malaysia Tengku Ampuan Tua Intan Zaharah.

The Queen looked very beautiful and with thicker eyeshadow making her looks younger. During the arrival procession of the Royal Couple to the Throne Hall we could clearly see that she murmured some prayers unheard to make herself calm down since she looks so nervous as they walk towards the Throne Dais. However as the Royal Couple sat on the throne both regain their control and relax.

The King raised the Sword of the Kingdom as an affirmation that he is installed as the Head of State instead of kissing the sword.

The Grand Chamberlain who led the ceremony was handpicked by Sultan Mizan himself.

What a wonderful celebration! I love to see Malaysia and Brunei Royalty together, just like at CP Billah's wedding.
The new Sultanah, Queen Saleha, and Azrina wear tiara. Both Queen look great and Azrina looks like a bride!
Thanks for those great pictures. .

Hi Flower0007. No problem thanks to Humera as well, glad you enjoy them.

With regard to the Raja Muda of Perak. I was speechless yesterday upon hearing the announcement, I was slapping my face twice to make sure it's true. But I'm and we all are surely glad that he finally found someone, the future Queen.

I can't comment further on who is the bride, but I'm sure you read today's Utusan. The name is there but the Palace will make the official announcement later.
